  • Last time we had a manager in the stands waiting to start we beat Brighton so derby should be know problem

    The more I read about Nathan Jones's persona, the more I slightly worry! 

    If he comes in, he/we will need to start off well else it could get ugly.
    I honestly think that would be the case with anyone though, whatever persona you have.
  • Jones is inheriting a similar situation to the one Powell did in 2011. A mixed playing squad, largely full of players he may not want to keep around for next season and maybe can’t play the way he’ll want them too. Let’s be patient and not get on his back. The rest of this season is a free hit. Keep
    us up, build for next season. 
    exactly this
  • Apparently his wife has the final say. Him and Mrs Jones, they've got a thing going on.
    Are they meeting today at the same cafe?

    I wonder if he'll be able to bring in his own backroom staff.
    Is it The Father, Son and The Holy Ghost ??

    And a few months later they will take the last train to the coast (proper Charlton 😃)

    Hopefully, we could do with some divine intervention...🤷‍♂️
  • Good appointment to be fair. Was hoping you’d end up with Holloway lol
    It is a great appointment. I was expecting Gareth Ainsworth.

    Except we were in the play-off positions when SCP took over not hovering precariously above the relegation places so not quite a free hit for the rest of the season - needs to get us out of the relegation mire PDQ.
  • Other then maybe the likes of Fraeye all Charlton managers have had support of the fans early, even Appleton was very briefly having his name sung by the Covered End. 

    We will need a new manager bounce though as a poor start could easily see us heading down to the fourth tier which even if the new team in the dugout was Curbs, Powell & Jackson would struggle to keep any but the rosiest glassed fans happy.

    The support base not on forums, you’d imagine, will be very excited by this. Overall feeling on this thread seems positive too. It’s punchy for L1, on paper. 

    I’m concerned that way back in this thread @bobmunro was a firm no, and given the position he held - he would know. (Apologies, Bob if I’ve misinterpreted). 

    I will retain an open mind, we need some stability and a properly supported manager. I really hope this is it with jones. Sensible to keep him out for Derby.

    Bar’s on every list but never gets the job, I certainly wouldn’t bet on him/her. 
    Could be worth a punt when you need something to lean on...🙄

    Why is Jones considered as mad as a box of frogs and a lunatic?
    Because he’s considering the Charlton job?

    Appears to have agreed to manage Charlton Athletic.

    Cos he's in advanced talks with Charlton.
    Great minds think alike.

    Absolutely spot on, he needs full backing for the rest of this season and into next….no way on earth were we gonna attract anyone better than him 

    added bonus that he’s been in and around our academy before

  • Its not his fault  but we don't have the luxury for him  to struggle in the way Powell did until he got his own players in though. 

    Jones will have to turn the current squad around to secure us staying up.

    Think this is a huge plus.
  • I'll call it the right manager but wrong time.

    We're severely in the brown stuff and am not sure he is a Warnock type to grab people by the scruff of the neck.

    I can see us going down then it will be interesting to see how things develop.  I reckon he'll have a clause reading left by mutual consent should we drop.

    That squad that Powell took over was awful and how we’re lower in the league now I have no idea. Has to be down to management or the league was shocking back then.

    Amen Brother 
  • Deep down I don't really fear we are getting relegated but we do need Jones to have at the very least an average start to his time here. 

    Hopefully Fleming hands things over with an additional three points on the board though. 
  • Was Jones approached or did he apply for the position?
  • I assume Jones is a vegetarian given thou shalt not kill and all that.
